Static SIMS is also capable of analyzing liquids and fine particles or powders. A liquid is ofren prepared by putting down an extremely thin layer on a flat substrate, such as a silicon wafer. Particles are easily prepared by pressing them onto doublesided tape. No further sample preparation, such as gold- or carbon-coating, is required. 

Rate constant for adding a stem to a flat substrate... 

The second way of preparing L-B monolayer structures, the horizontal lifting method, was introduced by Langmuir and Schaefer. In this method, a compressed monolayer first is formed at the water-air interface, and a flat substrate is then placed horizontally on the monolayer film. When the substrate is lifted and separated from the water surface, the monolayer is transferred onto the substrate, as depicted in Fig. 15(d). 

It is well known that when liquid droplets form on a flat substrate they adopt spherical cap shapes (neglecting gravity effects) with a contact angle 6. This angle depends solely on the interfacial energies as described by the Young s equation ... 

Spin coating has been used to deposit ultrathin to relatively thick coatings on flat substrates for several decades. Various materials, including resin, epoxy,...

In this method, NWs can be aligned by passing a suspension of NWs through microfluidic channel structures, for example, formed between a poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) mold 49 and a flat substrate (Fig. 11.3a). Images of NWs assembled on substrate surfaces (Fig. 11.3b) within micro-fluidic flows demonstrate that virtually all NWs are aligned along the flow direction. This alignment readily extends over hundreds of micrometers, and...

Further extensions of Madej ski s mod ell4011 may include (a) turbulence effect, (b) Rayleigh instability or Taylor instability and droplet breakup, (c) vibrational energy, and (d) influence of solidification on flow)514 Some issues related to the deformation and solidification of droplets on a flat substrate in splat quenching have been addressed in Refs. 380 and 514. To date, analytical models addressing droplet impingement on a semi-solid surface have not been found in available literature.

As a model of a pigmented system, consider a pigmented coating on a flat substrate, the whole illuminated and observed from the coating side. A great number of individual effects can occur in this situation, as Fig. 21 shows (except for refraction at the surface of the coating). 

In the following we focus on molecules that can adopt their shape in response to intermolecular and surface forces. In the case of a centrosymmetric den-drimer that is in contact with a flat substrate, a few plausible conformations can be envisaged depending on the interplay between the intramolecular and surface forces (Fig. 7). 

Specific, surface confined reactions not only directly involve catalysis but also the built-up of sdf-assembled multilayers (see Fig. 9.1 (3)) with co-functionalities for more complex (bio-) catalytic systems such as proteins or the directed deposition of active metals. Furthermore, SAM on flat substrates can be used for the study and development of e.g. catalytic systems, but are not useful for large scale applications because they have very limited specific surface. Here, nanoparticle systems covered with 3D-SAMs are the ideal solution of combining the advantages of high surface area, defined surface composition and accessibility of proximal active catalytic centers. 

Formation of the Grafting Density Gradient of PAA Brushes on Flat Substrates... 

Notably, the nature of the support, that is powder or thin film, appears to have some influence on the course of the reaction. Indeed, on flat substrates Tysoe and coworkers [9, 10] observed the formation of Mo(lV) species and the only loss of CO in the gas phase, in contrast with powdered alumina for which Mo(V) and loss of CO2 + H2 characterize the relevant surface chemistry.

Film thickness can govern the morphology, stability, and surface-chemical expression of polymeric thin films. NIST researchers developed a process for producing gradients, termed flow coating, which is a modified blade-casting technique [3-5]. How coater instrumentation and the flow coating process are illustrated in Fig. 2. To create the library, a dilute solution of polymer in solvent (1-5% mass fraction) is injected into the gap between a doctor blade positioned over a flat substrate... 

When the EC process is forced to occur within two opposite insulating flat substrates the technique is termed CEC and leads to thin single crystals, their thickness ultimately defined by the separation between both substrates (Thakur et al., 1990). This technique can be universally applied, as the parent standard EC technique, to the synthesis of a variety of thin single crystals of conducting and insulating molecular materials.
